Leeks, like their relatives the onion, contain just as many nutrients, but unlike the onion, they are more tender, sweeter, and have a milder flavor. Leeks are great not only in dishes but also as a standalone appetizer. Chop them into large chunks and steam them in a steamer to bring out their amazing piquant flavor. Drizzle with a creamy mustard sauce and serve. The sauce is also easy to make using fried shallots, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth, thickened with a spoonful of flour.
